Grape Bay Beach Hotel - Bermuda, Bermuda

Address:

55 White Sands Road, Box PG 174, Bermuda

Description:

Grape Bay Beach Hotel, this is the incarnation of a well-respected middle-bracket hotel that was, until a reconfiguration early in the millennium, known as White Sands Hotel. The core of this place is a shell-pink two-story Bermuda-style house. The hotel is a 3-minute walk from the white sands of Grape Bay Beach. In the 1980s, a concrete-sided annex was shoehorned into the narrow space that until then had been a lawn. The result is simple and completely unpretentious motel-style lodgings, most of which have access to a private balcony, a respectable amount of space, and a simple but serviceable decor that represents good value on an otherwise expensive island. One of the best aspects of the place is its location within a neighborhood of otherwise private homes, each set either on the crest of a hill or on the side of a hill, with views of the wide Atlantic.
